Talking during sex

[berto]

Okay, this article (which only really deals with the subject peripherally) got me thinking about the topic of talking during sex. Have you ever been in bed with a partner who said something that totally killed the mood? (Even if it was just for you?) Or have you ever done it?

'Coz there's this guy I know... I know he's trying to sound sexy and turned on and all, but invariably he just sounds so... phony... It's a real mood-killer every time, and it bugs the hell outta me. Why can't he leave well enough alone and just SHUT UP?!

I mean, I have been accused of being TOO silent -- I do speak, to give instructions/guidance, or to scream in the case of a leg cramp , but I acknowledge that by in large I am neither a moaner OR a screamer (except in extra-ordinary circumstances... there was that one guy...) But you know what I mean. Have you ever been tempted to tell a bed partner to just put a sock in it! ? Is there some way to do it 'politely'?

Politely?

I suspect not.

For what it's worth... if you're talking during sex, you just aren't applying yourself. Hell... if you can string more than three words together you just aren't doing it right somehow.

Noise, on the other hand... well. That's different.

Unless it's fake -- that's just acting, usually bad acting.

Bad acting is no provocation for politeness. Aren't flung tomatoes and rotted cabbages the traditional repayment for bad acting? They are. It's traditional. I'm not so big a fan of traditions... especially traditions that are likely to mess up the walls. That said, bad acting is often the occasion for outbursts of mockery, derision, or other spontaneous expressions of dissatisfaction. Bad acting is rarely ever the occasion for fits of politeness.

I suppose you might try finding some more or less neutral occasion to inform this guy you know that his acting leaves much to be desired. I doubt it will work because it's obviously a sensitive negotiation.

They do, however, manufacture rubber ball gags.

Just saying.

*sigh* I guess it's just the curse of being Canadian... I'm just too damn polite.

On the up side, I recently told the local grocer to "just fuck off". (He got highly irate and ranted at me in both English AND Korean! )

You need to shop for a ball-gag. Or, you need to shop for a new boy-toy. Alternatively, you might consider not being so... polite.

That's the word you Canadians have for that "thing" you do... right?

You need to shop for a ball-gag.

Uh.... no. That's too S&M-y for me, something that just leaves me cold.

Or, you need to shop for a new boy-toy.

Fortunately, this would be yet *another* advantage to moving away in the fall...

Alternatively, you might consider not being so... polite.

How do you do that?!

That's the word you Canadians have for that "thing" you do... right?

According to you Americans, yup. Even when we're trying to be rude. Michael Jensen from 365/After Elton once sniggered over some "irate letters" he'd received from Canadians, calling them the written equivalent of "a good frowning"... *sigh*

Full lessons on how to be less polite will have to wait for some other time.

If you have the time, try watching a week of "Will and Grace" reruns (assuming you live in one of those regions where "Will and Grace" airs, like "the Simpsons," at least three times a day, every day). Having absorbed the background radiation for a week, close your eyes and do your best imitation of Karen Walker.

Ahhem... Already tried to put a sock in? Likewise, something else... 

[Feral]

This is true... almost everyone's mother has instructed them in very clear terms to "never talk with your mouth full."

[berto]

This is difficult, however, when the other person is either behind you, or in front of you with his back turned...

[Feral]

Well... I DID suggest the ball-gag. You rejected the idea out of hand.

A hike was the perfect prom dresses,order of the day. The boys were excited about the idea. It would be a good workout and it would be good to be together.We planned to leave immediately after lunch. I noticed Daniel, who will be ten in November, and Wes, who will be seven in December, scramble for their gear. They had spent the morning pouring over outdoor outfitter catalogs looking at sophisticated equipment that would be sufficient to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail prom dresses.
Eve isk,
I thought back over the years to the hours I spent with my official Boy Scout handbook. I was disgusted to remember that I spent more time reading about nature than I spent experiencing it. That's when I said, "Guys, let's just use the daypacks we have and take a nice hike this afternoon." They say the smallest deed is better than the grandest intention. The boys heartily agreed.Immediately after lunch we made for the trailhead. Chuck joined us and led the expedition. The little guys fell in on the trail ahead of me with their full daypacks, slouch hats, and bottles filled with water. They soon found walking sticks. I laughed as I watched Wes lurching along the trail ahead of me struggling with all his gear. He shuffled along behind his brothers careful not to drop behind. Not a syllable of complaint escaped his lips Eve isk.
ffxi gil,
We climbed to the crest of a hill up earthen stairs built into the hillside. Finally, I asked Wes if I could carry the pack for a while. He smiled quietly and handed the thing to me.The guys hiked quietly trying to "leave no trace." The air was sweet with the scent of autumn. Goldenrod nodded yellow along the trial. We crossed a footbridge over a stream that ran among small boulders. At one point, we came to the edge of the wood overlooking acres of corn ripening in an undulating field ffxi gil.
wow power leveling,
I kept Wes's pack and finally asked him, "What's in the pack, Wes?" "A calculator," he said. I thought I misunderstood him. I thought maybe trail mix, some apples, or maybe even some jerky would be good things to put in the pack. Maybe he packed a field guide, field glasses, or the writings of Thoreau. Any of these would have made sense, but Wes said, "A calculator."
"What else did you put in here, Wes?""That's all.wow power leveling"
wedding gowns,
"It's kinda heavy, Buddy. Did you put some books in here, too?" "No, just the calculator."
He insisted the only thing the pack contained was a calculator. Then it hit me what he meant by a calculator. He was talking about the huge desktop adding machine that had been underfoo wedding gowns
wow power leveling,
at home for the last few weeks! It was complete with a power cord and a roll of paper. I was trekking the wide outdoors with an adding machine in my backpack
"Why did you put an adding machine in your pack?""I just wanted something in my pack," he said.
